HAWKSWORTH, Oscar BLANCO, Pradeep K. DIVAKAR, Teuvo AHTI and Ana CRESPO Abstract: After a discussion of changing generic concepts in the parmelioid lichens, a checklist with the current species placements is presented. Twenty-five genera and 143 species are accepted for Europe, of which 17 genera and 112 species belong to the monophyletic parmelioid clade. The individual countries from which species are reported are provided, along with references to key publications. Synonyms used at species rank in Europe are cross-referenced, and the dates of publication of all names are provided. One new combination is made: Xanthoparmelia pulvinaris (syn. Parmelia pulvinaris, X. pseudohungarica). Key words: Ascomycota, biogeography, Lecanoromycetes, Parmeliaceae. Introduction The family Parmeliaceae (incl. Alectoriaceae, Anziaceae, Hypogymniaceae, and Usneaceae; Arup et al. 2007), as currently circumscribed, includes around 2000 species in some 90 genera, and is the largest family within the order Lecanorales. The family belongs to the core of the order and is closely related to other large families, notably Cladoniaceae and Lecanoraceae (Wedin et al. 2000; Ekman & Tønsberg 2002; Tehler et al. 2003; Lutzoni et al. 2004). The closest relatives to the family amongst genera so far investigated are, however, the crustose lichen genera Gypsoplaca and Protoparmelia (Arup et al. 2007). D. L.

Within the Parmeliaceae, parmelioid lichens are characterized by a generally foliose thallus with rhizines on the lower surface, laminal apothecia, Lecanora-type asci, and simple hyaline ascospores (Crespo et al. 2007). Many taxonomic changes and new scientific names were introduced in the parmelioid lichens in seminal works by Mason E. Hale jr (1928–1990). The concept of Parmelia that was in widespread use in the 1960s and early 1970s was changed, and segregate genera were proposed by Hale (1974a, b, c, 1984a, 1985, 1986a, b, 1988, 1989a, b) and others (e.g. Culberson & Culberson 1981; Elix 1997; Elix et al. 1986b; Esslinger 1981; Sipman 1980, 1986; Elix & Hale 1987; Krog 1982b; Lumbsch 1997; Lumbsch et al. 1988; Nash et al. 1990; Hale & Fletcher 1990; Henssen 1991, 1992; Kurokawa 1991, 1994; Marcano et al. 1996). However, this new system for parmelioid lichens was controversial and has not been fully accepted (Clauzade & Roux 1986; Eriksson & Hawksworth 1986; Nimis 1993; Purvis et al. 1992; Llimona & Hladun 2001). The characters used in recognizing generic segregates included thallus colour 2 THE LICHENOLOGIST (especially differentiating brown, grey, and yellow-green thalli, with melanins, atranorin, and usnic acid as cortical compounds respectively), cortical features (pores in the epicortex, pseudocyphellae), rhizine types (simple, branched, basally swollen, dichotomous, or brush-like), medullary chemistry (e.g. depsidones vs. depsides or fatty acids), and in some cases the form of the conidia (Krog 1982a). The number of genera recognized within Parmelia, as it had been circumscribed in the 1960s, had risen to 30 by 1993 (Eriksson & Hawksworth 1993), and 36 by 1999 (DePriest 1999). A valuable synopsis of the characters of 63 genera of cetrarioid and parmelioid lichens, with descriptions, notes, and a synoptic key was prepared by Elix (1993). Elix argued for the validity of the segregates based on the structure of the upper cortex, nature of the cell-wall polysaccharides, ascospore and conidum types, chemical products, and other thallus characteristics. Hale (1984b) had earlier reviewed changing generic concepts in lichen-fungi, and the special problems in fruticose and foliose families which ‘‘have far fewer differences in ontogenetic and apothecial characters, often none at all’’. He emphasized conidium types, thallus structure, rhizines and cilia, chemical products, and biogeography. The reluctance of some lichenologists to accept the proposed segregates arose from concerns over the types of characters being used (Hawksworth et al. 1980; Nimis 1998). During the same period in the early 1980s, numerous crustose lichen genera were being resurrected or newly segregated, but mainly as a result of differences in ascoma structure, especially interascal (hamathecial) tissues and ascus structure, and also pycnidial types. The issue resolved around whether the recognition of genera with apparently identical or very similar sexual fruit bodies could be justified. In this context, it has to be remembered that the names applied to lichens strictly apply only to the fungal partner under Art. 13.1(d) of the Code (Hawksworth 1997). In the classification of other ascomycetes, differences related to ascomata, apothecial tissues, asci, ascospores, or conidia were used to differentiate Vol. 40 genera. The issue came to a head at a NATO Advanced Studies Workshop held in Paris in May 1993, primarily to consider the development of the next edition of an ‘‘Outline of the Ascomycetes’’, including lichen-forming and non-lichenized groups (Hawksworth 1994). The differing views over the parmelioid genera were vigourously debated at that meeting, but without a consensus (Hafellner et al. 1994). An independent test of the homogeneity and phylogenetic relationships of the parmelioid genera was clearly needed. This became possible for the first time in the late 1990s with the advent of molecular phylogenetic approaches. Phylogeny based on molecular markers has supported many of the generic concepts proposed, although several morphological characters proved to be homoplasic and so some generic segregations were polyphyletic. Although the first molecular results were not very conclusive (Crespo & Cubero 1998; Mattsson & Wedin 1998), that situation has now changed. ITS and 5.8 rDNA data did not resolve many relationships among groups with sufficient statistical support, though some widely accepted ‘‘genera’’ were grouped together in the same clade with strong support, notably Neofuscelia with Xanthoparmelia, Hypotrachyna with Parmelinopsis, and Rimelia with Parmotrema (Crespo & Cubero 1998). A non-molecular cladistic study also suggested that Canomaculina and Rimelia might be better treated within Parmotrema (Louwhoff & Crisp 2000). More genes gradually became available for use in such approaches, and proved to be more discriminatory, most importantly the small subunit mitochondrial region of the rDNA (Crespo et al. 2001). These last authors confirmed previous monogenic analyses, and also showed that the species they studied of Chondropsis, Neofuscelia, Paraparmelia and Xanthoparmelia, amongst others, belonged together. These results were confirmed by other workers using more genes, notably Thell et al. (2004). The need now was to sample larger numbers of species in these ‘genera’, including their type species, and to search for correlations with anatomical, morphological 2008 Parmelioid lichens in Europe—Hawksworth et al. and other features in order to establish robust circumscriptions. Consequently, a series of more comprehensive studies has been conducted on different groups of parmelioid lichens, which preliminary investigations had suggested might be closely allied. The first of these showed that Chondropsis, Karoowia p. p., Neofuscelia, Paraparmelia, and Xanthomaculina p. p. had to be included in Xanthoparmelia, a decision supported by the polysaccharides of the cell walls (Blanco et al. 2004a; Elix 2003), and also now by a unique ascospore structure (Del Prado et al 2007). Thell et al. (2006) showed that the South African endemic genera Almbornia, Namakwa, and Xanthomaculina, were also synonyms of Xanthoparmelia. Studies on the species referred to Melanelia, however, showed them to be polyphyletic and dispersed through four well-supported clades, with two new genera requiring recognition (Melanelixia and Melanohalea) and which were supported by anatomical and chemical features, as well as ecology (Blanco et al. 2004b). Canomaculina, Concamerella, Parmelaria, and Rimelia, fell within Parmotrema, which has thickwalled ascospores also seen in Flavoparmelia and which proved to be its sister-group but which also differs in having bifusiform not acicular conidia (Blanco et al. 2005a). Those authors concluded that Canomaculina, Concamerella, and Rimelia were synonyms of Parmotrema, supported both by molecular markers and sharing some further morphological features such as lobe width, maculae, the type of cilia and rhizines, and ascospore size. Furthermore, although the results suggested that Parmelaria might be more appropriately treated also as a synonym of Parmotrema, the independence of Parmelaria could not be unequivocally rejected, and the status of that genus cannot be definitely established until more data to clarify its phylogenetic placement are available. Cetrariastrum, Everniastrum and Parmelinopsis all fell into the main Hypotrachyna clade, with Bulbothrix and Parmelinella in a sister clade with other Hypotrachyna species (Blanco et al. 2006; Divakar et al. 2006). Finally, Crespo et al. (2007) have shown a 3 supported relationship of Parmelinella and some species of Bulbothrix, Hypotrachyna, Parmelina, and Myelochroa. In the present checklist Parmelinopsis is retained as distinct from Hypotrachyna here, despite the molecular data of Divakar et al. (2006), as the genus is polyphyletic and more tropical species require investigation. While not all tropical parmelioid groups are yet sufficiently studied and resolved, seven main clades within a monophyletic group of parmelioid lichens can now be recognized with confidence (Fig. 1): the Hypotrachyna (incl. Bulbothrix, Parmelinella, Everniastrum, Cetrariastrum, and Parmelinopsis), Melanelixia, Melanohalea, Parmelia, Parmelina (incl. Myelochroa), Parmotrema (incl. Flavoparmelia, Flavopunctelia, Punctelia, Parmelaria and Canoparmelia p.p. as independent branches), and Xanthoparmelia clades, with Arctoparmelia and Melanelia s. str. falling outside (Blanco et al. 2006; Divakar et al. 2006). In order to clarify the use of the concept of ‘parmelioid lichens’ here, it is necessary to explain that while the previous concept (Hale & DePriest 1999; DePriest 1999) has been shown to be polyphyletic, there is a wide and strongly supported core group, excluding Arctoparmelia and Melanelia s. str., but including Parmeliopsis and Parmelaria. Recently, Crespo et al. (2007), in an extensive phylogenetic analysis of Parmeliaceae, corroborated these findings, showing also that Omphalodiella and Cetrelia (two genera not previously considered as parmelioid) clustered within the parmelioid lichens, with Psiloparmelia and Allantoparmelia falling outside. We have not included the lichenicolous genera Nesolechia and Phacopsis. The data of Peršoh & Rambold (2002) and Crespo et al. (2007) showed they belonged in the parmelioid clade, but these are preliminary data and fresh samples should be studied in more detail before reaching conclusions as to the placement of lichenicolous genera growing intimately with their hosts. At the species level, molecular studies on large numbers of specimens have supported the recognition of additional species in 4 THE LICHENOLOGIST Vol. 40 F. 1.

Branches in bold indicate relationships with statistical support (posterior probability >95 and bootstrap >70%). Parmelia s. str.

In most cases where populations at first recognized by molecular studies have been re-examined, morphological characters that were previously overlooked or thought to be variable and of no taxonomic consequence have been found to be correlated. This means that in most groups with such previously overlooked cryptic speciation, specimens can still be identified without recourse to molecular analyses. Molecular studies provide a method of confirming or rejecting the monophyly of current species concepts, especially in widely distributed species, and are to be commended when new species are described. Now that all but a minority of issues concerning the generic placement of the European parmelioid lichens have been satisfactorily resolved, and almost all species concepts (with a few exceptions) in Europe are clear, this contribution provides a new European checklist for these taxa, along with indications of the countries from which they have been reported. However, we stress that checklists are dynamic, and we expect further species to be discovered in the less explored parts of Europe, as is already occurring in the Iberian Peninsula (e.g. Paz-Bermúdez & Elix 2004; Blanco et al. 2005b; Divakar et al. 2005a).

However, for names treated as synonyms, the dates are those of effective publication, and we do not make any comments as to their validity or legitimacy here. We decided to focus on species level names here, and not to recognize any infraspecific taxa at this time as molecular support for the few such taxa that have been regularly recognized in recent years is still not available (e.g. Melanelixia fuliginosa subsp. glabratula, Pseudevernia fufuracea var. ceratea). We have, however, selectively included the names of a few infraspecific taxa in the lists of synonyms that have been used in recent works. Europe is interpreted here essentially as that of Flora Europaea (Tutin et al. 1964), especially in the east, except that Kazakhstan is fully excluded. Further, Russia is interpreted as including the Russian part of the Caucasus, and records from all Turkey are included. The distributional data presented have been gleaned from national checklists, monographs, and other publications, in some cases supplemented by our own studies in the field or herbaria, or information from colleagues. Abbreviations for country names used are given in Table 1. Where species that occur in Greenland (North America) or the Macaronesian Canary Islands or Madeira (which belong in north-west Africa) are also present in Europe, this is indicated in the main list; otherwise Greenland and Macaronesian species are mentioned separately in the notes.

Busk-bladlavar: 85 (1929) as although attributed to Duby alone it was accepted as a variety under ‘‘pulla’’ (and listed as such in the index on p. 121), and he used the author citation ‘‘(Duby) H. Magn.’’ in subsequent editions of his checklist (Föteckn. Skand. Växter 4: 67, 1936; ibid. 4: 66, 1944). However, prior to 1953, an indirect reference to a basionym citation is acceptable as a new combination under the Code (Art. 33.2), so there is no need to attribute this combination to Clauzade & Roux (1986: 827) as has been done in some more recent publications. 13 serbica Gyeln. 1932=Xanthoparmelia protomatrae servitiana Gyeln. 1931=Xanthoparmelia verrucigera sinuosa (Sm.)

Xanthoparmelia vagans (Nyl.) Hale 1974 is not correctly reported from Europe, and European records of X. taractica (Kremp.) Hale 1987 refer to Xanthoparmelia stenophylla. Xanthoparmelia angustiphylla has been incorrectly reported from B. Xanthoparmelia cumberlandia (Gyeln.) Hale 1974 is reported from I, but this is primarily a North American species which requires confirmation in Europe with molecular data. Xanthoparmelia stenophylla is not correctly reported from GB. The following additional species occur in EC: X. canariensis (Elix & Schumm) O. Blanco et al. 2004, X. phaeophana (Stirt.) Hale 1974, X. pulloides (Essl.) O. 17 Blanco et al. 2004, X. pustulosa (Essl.) O. Blanco et al. 2004, X. stenosporonicella O. Blanco et al. 2004, X. sublaevis (Cout.) Hale 1988 (also in MAD), and X. subramigera (Gyeln.) Hale 1974 (also in MAD). In addition, X. madeirensis Elix & Schumm 2003 occurs in MAD. Kondratyuk et al. (1998) accepted Parmelia taurica as distinct from the species treated as X. ryssolea here, but without any discussion; the status of that species, which is known only from Crimea (UA), merits further study.
